Adhesion of lymphocytes to EC is one of the important steps of lympho. cyte migration into the tissues outside vessels; and the components of blood plasma may have some effect on the adhesion of lymphocytes. In our experiments, we observed that PNIP, normally present in blood and being able to inhibit the proliferation of lymphocytes stimulated by antigens or mitogens, could significantly inhibit the adhesion of the lymphocytes from blood, thymus and mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) to the aortic EC, using the aortic EC monolayer preparation (Hautchen technique). Meanwhile, the indirect immunofluorescent test also showed us that PNIP might result in a remarkable decrease in percentage of SmIgG positive B lymphocytes in the total lymphocytes adhering to the aortic EC. These results imply that PNIP may suppress the adhesion of lymphocytes or other leukocytes to EC in the development of inflammation, atherosclerosis or thrombosis.

To rapidly identify the compound Yiganling tablets from different manufacturers by near-infrared fibre-opti-cal spectroscopy and detect the content of silymarin. Methods:The ninety-three batches of compound Yiganling tablets from six manu-facturers were used as the analysis objects. Clustering analysis model of compound Yiganling tablets was established. The spectra were pretreated with the second derivative and vector normalization;the number of smoothing point was thirteen; the wavelength range was 9 000-4 100 cm-1;the distance between the spectra was Euclidean distance, the distance between the spectra and the class was the sum of square of the variance(Ward’s method). The quantitative model was established using the same samples. The spectra were pretreated with the first Derivative and vector normalization;the number of smoothing point was seventeen;the wavelength ranges were 9 100-7 300 cm-1 and 7 100-4 100 cm-1;the regression method was partial least squares ( PLS) algorithm. Results:The clustering model could identify the samples of training set, and validate the thirty spectra of test set accurately. For the quantitative model of the content of silymarin, the root mean square error of cross validation (RMSECV) was 0. 082 8 and the determination coefficient R2 was 97. 98%. The root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) was 0. 044 1 and the correlation coefficient R2 was 98. 95%. Conclu-sion:The clustering analysis and the quantitative model are rapid and simple, accurate and reliable, and can be applied in fast drug a-nalysis.

father′s hypertension. Conclusion In addition to mother′s menses irregularity and father′s premature balding, father′s hypertension may also be an independent phenotype in families of women with PCOS.

Objective　To investigate the mode of inheritance of polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).Methods　The first female relatives with irregular cycle and the first male relatives with premature balding in each nuclear family were designated the affected. Their prevalence rates in families were respectively calculated. Analyses of segregation ratio were carried out among 139 nuclear families with PCOS by the methods of simple segregation and complex segregation of genetic epidemiology, respectively.Results The prevalence rates of irregular cycle among mothers and sisters with PCOS were 37.4% and 33.1% respectively, and the prevalence rates of premature balding among fathers and brothers of patients were 19.4% and 6.5%, respectively. The simple segregation analysis indicated that the segregation ratio of PCOS trait in siblings was 0.3023, the complex segregation analysis indicated that it fitted in with the inheritance model of co-dominant disorder with full penetrance and sporadic cases. The frequency of homozygote of disease gene in population was 0.046.Conclusion　PCOS presents the mode of co-dominant inheritance with complete penetrance.

Evidenced based and practical guidelines have important role in the decrease of mobility and mortality of the patients with major haemorrhage. Recently, British Society for Haematology updated a guideline on haematological management of major haemorrhage, which provides the recommendations in general and on alternatives to transfusion, obstetric haemorrhage, gastrointestinal haemorrhage, trauma and surgery, and the good practice statements for laboratory/organisational support. The comprehensive and instructive recommendations presented in the guideline will be good references for and assist in the education and development of the guidelines or protocols for the management of the patient with major haemorrhage in China.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the NOAEL of the nickel ion and provide with basic data for the biological evaluation of those medical devices containing nickel. Five groups SD rats were repeatedly exposed during 14 d respectively to nickel at first stage doses of 4.9, 3.7, 2.5 mg/(kg.d), and the second stage doses of 1.2, 0.25 mg/(kg.d) by the intravenous route. The results showed that the NOAEL of nickel ion is 0.25 mg/(kg.d) for SD rats, and the result was verified by subchronic systemic toxicity test of nickel alloy. The threshold of toxicological concern (TTC) of nickel is 150 μg/d (based on application of 100-fold uncertainty factor and a body weight of 60 kg)deduced by these data.

In the European Guideline on Management of Major Bleeding and Coagulopathy Following Trauma updated recently, there are 39 clinical practice recommendations that follow an approximate temporal path for management of the bleeding trauma patient, with recommendations grouped behind key decision points, including initial resuscitation and prevention of further bleeding, diagnosis and monitoring of bleeding, rapid control of bleeding, initial management of bleeding and coagulopathy, further goal-directed coagulation management, management of antithrombotic agents, thromboprophylaxis, guideline implementation and quality control, as welll as the management of tissue oxygenation, volume, fluids and temperature. In this paper, we introduce the recommendations and rationale of the guideline and add some newly published clinical study evidence. These information would be very helpful to the development and training of the guidelines or protocols for the management of the trauma patient with major haemorrhage and coagulopathy in China.

Objective     To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) using the SAPIEN 3 system. Methods    This was a prospective, multicenter, single arm study in 4 centers in China. The clinical data of 50 patients with high-risk symptomatic severe aortic stenosis who underwent TAVR using the SAPIEN 3 system from June 2017 to June 2019 were analyzed, including 27 males and 23 females aged 76.8±6.1 years. Results    The Society of Thoracic Surgeon score was 6.0%±2.8%. Totally, 20.0% of patients had severe bicuspid aortic stenosis. The operation time was 41.8±16.5 min and the hospital stay time was 8.5±5.0 d. At the postoperative 30-day follow-up, no all-cause mortality occurred and the device success rate was 89.5%. Major vascular complications occurred in one (2.0%) patient,  stroke in one (2.0%) patient, new pacemaker implantation in one (2.0%) patient, as well as coronary artery obstruction in one (2.0%) patient. There was no moderate or moderate/severe paravalvular leak. The aortic pressure gradient was decreased from 49.2±16.2 mm Hg before the operation to 12.4±4.6 mm Hg at the postoperative 30-day follow-up, and the valvular area was increased from 0.6±0.3 cm2 to 1.3±0.3 cm2 (P<0.01). Moreover, the New York Heart Association classification in 83.7% of the patients was improved during the follow-up. Conclusion    This pre-marketing multicenter study has demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of transfemoral TAVR with the SAPIEN 3 transcatheter valve system in Chinese aortic stenosis patients at high risk for surgery.
